Camp Sparkle looking for Camp Counselors

Community Service0
Camp Sparkle, from Cancer Pathways (formerly Gilda's Club Seattle), is a free summer day camp for children ages 6-12 who have a loved one with cancer or have cancer themselves.  Their goal is to ensure that no family or child has to face cancer alone. Every summer they look for motivated and enthusiastic high school students to volunteer a week of their time at Camp Sparkle as volunteer Camp Counselors.  Each volunteer earns 40 hours of community service and gets an opportunity to work this special population.  This is a particularly meaningful opportunity for teens who have their own cancer experience. Seattle          July 6th -- 10th            Cancer Pathways, 9am-4pm Tacoma        July 13th - 17th             Star Center, 9:30am -- 3:30pm July 20th -- 24th          Star Center 9:30am -- 3:30pm Bellevue     August 3rd -- 7th          Jubilee Reach, 9am -- 4pm Everett          August 10th -- 14th      Everett Legion Hall, 9am -- 4pm   For details, visit:  https://cancerpathways.org/how-to-help/ Questions?  Contact the Family Program Manager, Maddie Ritter, at 206-709-1400 or maddie@cancerpathways.org

Knight Valor Hour Approval Deadline – 5/22/20

Community Service0
Knight Valor Hour Approval Deadline - 5/22/20 Knight Valor is a Newport High School PTSA program designed to recognize students who have completed 140 or more community service hours during high school. Students who have met the Knight Valor requirements are recognized the following ways:  Juniors receive a certificate; Seniors receive a certificate, pin, and recognition in the graduation brochure. All community service hours must recorded, submitted and approved in x2vol to count towards the Knight Valor requirement.  Community service hours must be approved by May 22, 2020 in order to be eligible for the Knight Valor award in 2020.  Guidelines for acceptable community service hours for Knight Valor are the same as those for the BSD graduation requirement.  Namely, the community service must be done for schools, non-profit agencies, and/or religious organizations. (https://bsd405.org/nhs/counseling/community-service/). There is no separate application process for Knight Valor awards.  We will simply look at the number of approved hours in x2vol to determine students who qualify for the award. Students who do not wish to be recognized as a Knight Valor award recipient must send an email to knightvalor.nhsptsa@gmail.com. Questions or inquiries should be sent to knightvalor.nhsptsa@gmail.com.
